ABSTRACT
RESUMEN Los quistes de los conductos de Gartner, generalmente pequeños, benignos y asintomáticos, son vestigios del canal mesonéfrico de Wolff. Representan el 11 % de los quistes vaginales, esta es su localización más frecuente según la literatura consultada. Se presentó un caso operado en el Hospital Militar de Matanzas "Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy", de localización en la cara posterior del istmo uterino (AU).
ABSTRAC Gartner's duct cyst, mostly little, benign and asymptomatic, are vestiges of the Wolffian mesonephric duct representing 11 % of the vaginal cysts; this location is the most frequently reported and published one up to date. The authors presented the case of a patient who underwent a surgery in the Military Hospital "Dr. Mario Muñoz Monroy¨ with a cyst in the posterior side of the uterine isthmus (AU).

Epididymal agenesis is defined as the absence of the epididymis totally or segmentally, unilateral or bilateral, which is secondary to the Wolffian duct malformation (1). Rete testis, epididymis, vas deferens and seminal vesicle are believed to develop from Wolffian ducts.

In this case report, a Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome with pelvic ectopic kidney and a perirenal cyst with endometrial tissue inside is demonstrated. A 17 year old patient admitted with primary amenorrhea. Pubertal stages were completed. In pelvic ultrasonography; uterus could not be detected, a 6x11 cm sized cystic lesion was seen on the right adnexal area. A centrally located 5.5x9 cm sized ectopic pelvic kidney was detected. Hormones and tumor markers were normal. Laparoscopy was planned. In the laparoscopic observation, uterus and both tubes could not be detected, ovaries were normal. There was a 6x7 cm sized cyst located in the retroperitoneal area, the origin of the cyst could not be identified. Laparatomy was considered, retroperitoneal space was entered, an 8x11 cm sized smooth contoured perirenal cyst adjacent to the pelvic kidney was detected. Cyst was extirpated. The pathology result was reported to include endometrial tissue and hemorrhage inside

A case of hemihaematometra in a non-communicating rudimentary horn of the uterus in a 14 year old girl is presented. Exploratory laparotomy revealed a persistent undeveloped Wolffian duct. This is the second case in world literature where a persistent mesonephric duct without any development is reported.

The mesonephric duct may fail to develop, resulting in congenital absence of the kidney and ureter. A unique case of persistence of the mesonephric duct without development into the kidney and ureter is presented.
